Biotechnology relies on the use of cells or part of cells in the production of knowledge, products, and services. Biotechnological knowledge will be essential in the coming years as focus moves to renewable raw materials, exploration of waste products, and sustainability. Biotechnological processes are important.

A candidate who specializes in Biotechnology will get a good understanding of biochemistry, molecular genetics, biochemical engineering, and the use of biotechnology in industrial processes. You can go in-depth on topics such as:

• Genetics and synthetic biology
• Biorefinery and bioprocesses
• Biopolymer-based biomaterials
• Microbial communities
